Sachin to get his 100th 100 in the first ODI

 

[BoyBrumby]

Limited over games after the test series always seem a bit underwhelming to me. After the Lord Mayor's show and all that.

With India's outs we should start as favs (& do in reality, having checked), but think India might save some face.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Who cares. The main task of the summer has been done comprehensively. This series is a total afterthought and waste of time.

Sachin to get his 100th 100 in the first ODI

This. Rather he brings it up in a low profile one day series than the big matches.
Sachin and others, please bring some cheers to the Indian fans. Come on India!

Sachin to get his 100th 100 in the first ODI

i really hope that he takes some revenge for the humiliation in the test series by smashing the english bowlers, particularly Broad.

should just go after broad and the other bowlers

like he did in 2007

2nd ODI: England v India at Bristol, Aug 24, 2007 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

5th ODI: England v India at Leeds, Sep 2, 2007 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

6th ODI: England v India at The Oval, Sep 5, 2007 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

 

[GIMH]

Alas, we won 4-3

Was actually a really good ODI series. Close games and it went to the wire.

Broad should do serious damage here anyway. He's unreal in ODIs when on form.

 

[kingpin]

Actually We have very good Batting line up!!If we played to our Potential We can this one with ease!!That being said..We were thinking the same for Test's..Let's hope for the Best...

KP "rested" for the ODIs.

 

[wpdavid]

Here's the details

England news: Kevin Pietersen rested for India ODIs | Cricket News | England v India 2011 | ESPN Cricinfo

No Taylor, which makes his game against Ireland rather pointless.

And resting KP means losing the one player in our top 4 who can actually score at a decent rate.

Pleased to see Buttler in the 2020 squad, although I'd rather see him playing ODIs instead of Kieswetter.

 

[Howe_zat]

T20 squad's not bad.

Stuart Broad (captain, Nottinghamshire)
Ravi Bopara (Essex)
Tim Bresnan (Yorkshire)
Jos Buttler (Somerset)
Jade Dernbach (Surrey)
Steven Finn (Middlesex)
Alex Hales (Nottinghamshire)
Craig Kieswetter (Somerset)
Eoin Morgan (Middlesex)
Samit Patel (Nottinghamshire)
Kevin Pietersen (Surrey)
Ben Stokes (Durham)
Graeme Swann (Nottinghamshire)

Hales is a yes. Glad to see the back of Lumb. Excited by Buttler too.

I should think there'll be one spot between Bopara and Stokes. I'm not sure why you'd pick Stokes if he can't bowl.

I'd like to see all the pacers go in but I expect one to be left out for Patel.

Likely XI:

Hales
Kieswetter
KP
Morgan
Bopara
Patel
Buttler
Bresnan
Swann
Broad
Dernbach

 

[Scaly piscine]

Essex chav in both squads, even if you're one of the few members of the Bopara family who like him you wouldn't have the guy anywhere near a T20 squad, his strike rate is below 100 ffs.

6th ODI: England v India at The Oval, Sep 5, 2007 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

That's a long time ago. Broad when remotely on song is a very tricky customer in ODIs and in form is amongst the very best in the world.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Hales is a yes. Glad to see the back of Lumb. Excited by Buttler too.

I should think there'll be one spot between Bopara and Stokes. I'm not sure why you'd pick Stokes if he can't bowl.

Lumb's crocked, isn't he?

I like the cut of Stokes's jib too, even if he can't bowl. The trouble is I suspect Ravi's improving seamers will get him the nod.

 

[grecian]

KP gone good, Bell still there, bad.

 

[Jacknife]

Surprised they've rested KP, really expected him to tuck in to the Indian bowlers and have a great series,strange since he hasn't looked as in form a this in a while.

 

[wpdavid]

Here's the ODI squad in full:

Alastair Cook (capt), James Anderson, Ian Bell, Ravi Bopara, Tim Bresnan, Stuart Broad, Jade Dernbach, Steven Finn, Craig Kieswetter (wk), Eoin Morgan, Samit Patel, Ben Stokes, Graeme Swann, Jonathan Trott


So what's the likely starting XI going to be?

Cook
Kieswetter
Trott
Morgan
Bell
Bopara / Stokes / Patel
Bresnan
Broad
Swann
Anderson / Finn
Dernbach

 

[Spark]

Can't play Patel in that lineup.
